House Bill 6534 repeals a current requirement that Connecticut gas stations install and regularly maintain stage II vapor recovery systems on their gas pumps. Since 2000, on-board vapor recovery (ORVR) equipment has been incorporated directly into the design of all new passenger vehicles, which serves much the same purpose as state II vapor systems. The requirement was introduced in the early 1990's to prevent the emission of harmful ozone and other pollutants as customers refueled their cars.
